Okay so I had no idea of where to put this because it's a musical, but then I thought that since the play originally comes from a book (written in script form but oh well XD) and it has music in it... meh XD
So I just got completely and seriously hooked on that play lol. It's really great, the plot line is very interesting (set in the crazy years of the USA XD 20s for those who don't know, just before the great depression lol) and the songs are sooo great!
And since I suck at making summary for plays or books or movies or whatever that need a summary, I'll just put the one they have on wikipedia XD *huggles wikipedia and sighs happily*
Sadly enough the play is no longer on Broadway lol but its one of these plays which comes back and comes back and yada yada yada so in two years it'll probably be playing somewhere again XD
Though I have to admit that one of the reason for which I got hooked was because of Sutton Foster in the role of Millie, she is really amazing.
Here are clips from the Broadway play on YouTube ^^ clips of the song, that is lol. Most are from the actual Broadway show but some are performances of the songs on tv shows and galas and things like that

The plot revolves around Millie Dillmount, who escapes to New York City from Salina, Kansas determined to marry her wealthy boss - whomever he may be. Shedding her country girl image for the modern look of a "flapper", she takes a room at the Priscilla Hotel for Women and gets a job as a stenographer at the Sincere Trust Insurance Company. In short time, she finds herself involved with Jimmy Smith, an apparently ne'er-do-well paper clip salesman, Miss Dorothy Brown, a genteel aspiring actress who never seems to have spare change, Trevor Graydon, her no-nonsense boss, and Muzzy van Hossmere, a madcap Manhattan heiress with a zest for the high life.
